No Mo Trip

No, your favorite ugly duckling has not slipped into a(n in-)voluntary case of ebonics. What this is is official notice that there will be no Spring Equinox camping trip for this bird.

As disappointed as I am, reason had to win the day over the very typical Cygnuspontanaeity.

Preparations continue at the rate of $2/ day in food storage towards an eventual move. In fact the deadline has been set; one reason for postponing the roadtrip-- camping for four days now would cost me near four months more racing rats, and that's rabid sickness, man...

Another reason is to redouble efforts to get a like-minded family member out of the concrete jungle ahead of schedule... any way I can help only aides me in the long run, i ken... ever needs fall out of the city fast, I have a warm, known spot to skedaddle to...

So while it rips at my soul to have to do it, I gotta do what I gotta do.

And I gotta get out of this place...not sooner 'sooner'; sooner 'later'...

Well brother good logic is a damn good skill to have, and you have it. I pays to step back and take another look sometimes even when you don't really want to. It takes a strong mind and heart to make tough decisions like that. I'm sorry your trip is on hold but it sounds like it will be best for you in the long run. Getting out is what you are working on anyway not a 4 day trip. Good for you for understanding what matters most. 99% of the people working toward this would have went anyway and hurt their chances of of total freedom. Sorry but Happy for you at the same time.

Shame you can't make it Cyg...but you're doin' what must be done. No missin' much at the moment anyway...temps took a nosedive just in time for the weekend and just in time to drive me totally in sane.
